Where can i find RCbot Waypoints for all ns/co maps in one file?
Last resort many files. -_-,

Cheeseh · August 2004

There are some in the forums in packages, sometimes split across a few though <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' />

Aye. I went to many sites and RCbots main website. But they all contain waypoints for NS2.0 maps. Cant find any 3.0 or beta ones anywhere.

** Update Update Update **

HiveMind 3.3 will be released soon. I will edit the first post and re-post about it again.

where can i get metamod?

ModChaosControl · August 2004

if you download WhichBot or HiveMind it already has metamod, but for RCBot, you have to download it from <a href='http://metamod.org' target='_blank'>http://metamod.org</a>

Either RC or Which is extremely ladder happy, to the exclusion of all else.

Additionally, having installed the bots I now find myself unable to SHOOT hives. Yes, you can knife em, but you can't shoot them.

Joy.

ModChaosControl · August 2004

contact Clamatius or Cheeseh.

Zirconium · August 2004

I tried rcbot + whichbot a few days ago, and I'm kinda disappointed about rcbot. They try to knife skulks and almost never shoot!

ModChaosControl · August 2004

maybe you are having problems, try the <a href='http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums' target='_blank'> RCBot forums</a>

i've been running a marine training server for almost the last two months with whichot. they implementation was extremely simple and i've had the pleasure of watching nsplayers become NS players <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Maybe I'm not setting the RCbots right but those bots are a serious pain in the **** to command. They have bad tendency to constantly rambo and you have to keep setting a waypoint at the place you want them to stay at to avoid having them run off on you. Dropping buildings seem to be the more useful way of getting them to stay put. Because they just want to roam so much, it's hard to set up a strategy since they go off into areas and blew their cover. I remember in an older version they would stay put and wait for orders but now they just rambo like mad.

ModChaosControl · September 2004

type "rcbot config wait_for_orders 1" in the console and they will wait for your orders.

none of the bots work for b5 :*(

ModChaosControl · September 2004

it only works with Metamodx3 1.17.0.0 and below, there seem to be crash issues, download the EXE installer.

Use my latest BETA version of the bot (metamod only) you can get on the bot forum.

It wasn't my fault but NS since changed something which meant the bots didn't know there was a comm and didn't stay put if given an order. It still works if you use the rcbot dll you are using with an older version of NS.

Herra_huu · September 2004

Heres stupid question from stupid player where i have to instal bot files?

Clashen · September 2004

Could you put up a download for NS 3.0, B4? Hivemind that is.

ModChaosControl · September 2004

ok. should be up soon.

rcbots suck big time, they use aimbot or something and it annoys the crap out of every1, especially since they can see u cloaked

All BOTs in every single game or modification uses aimbot... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /> Infact any piece of code that will analyse the distance and movement of the target and rotates the FOV in order to center reticle to target; is called aimbot...

The only way is to make AI ignore cloacked aliens; which I wonder why Cheeseh did not coded that way...

ModChaosControl · September 2004

he needs to add a tag like
enemy_is_cloaked

so it would be like this:

</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>
// Is enemy cloaked?
if ((enemy_is_cloaked == 1))
{
// Ignore that enemy, I'm a stupid bot :P
continue;

}
</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

Clashen · September 2004

Everytime i type addbot and a RCbot joins the Marines it gets kicked. I know it isn't becasue of WON since i've played with RCbot on WON before ://

Anyone know what's causing this?

them · September 2004
